 note = {A 5 m sediment core taken from Lake Kestel in southwestern Anatolia, Turkey, was analyzed for high molecular saturated fatty acids (≧C20 FAs) as a paleoclimatic indicator.
In the present paper, we discussed the correlation between the fluctuations in ≧C20 FA concentrations and precipitation in Anatolia over the last 2,000 years based on previous pollen records.  The discussion led to the following conclusion:
1) The amounts of precipitation about 1,800 to 1,300 years ago were extremely low leading to very dry climatic conditions.
2) From 1,300 to 600 years ago, the precipitation increased gradually to a level similar to that of the present with some fluctuations into very low precipitation.  From about 600 years ago to the recent past, a wet climate had prevailed.3) From 200 to 40 years ago, the precipitation temporarily increased to about 1.5 times its previous level.  Thereafter, it tended to decrease considerably.},
